Host offerings
Chef Jekky and her team are truly one of a kind. From their patterned ensemble, everything about them is cool. While we love their personality and all-around good vibes, it was their food that truly stole our hearts. This truly local, Thai cooking academy is full of fun, kindness, and happiness. If you love being outdoors, good music, and most importantly, delicious food, you have come to the right place.
Please note menu might vary. If there are particular dishes you are interested in trying, please include your request in the booking form.
Market visit (1 - 3 guests) Chef Jekky or Anne will pick you up from your central Chiang Rai hotel and then drive you to a local market. Here you will learn how to pick the best ingredients and then buy a few local vegetables and herbs for your cooking class. After the market tour, Jekky or Anne will take you to their professional cooking studio for your Thai cooking class. You can expect to make about 3 dishes. Regardless of how knowledgeable you are when it comes to cooking, every guest who takes Anne and Jekky's cooking class will leave with some new, interesting facts about Thai cuisine! Learn how to cook Thai dishes such as tom yum (hot and sour Thai soup), pad kra pao (spicy Thai basil chicken) or larb (meat salad), and mango sticky rice. Jekky and Anne have mastered cooking a plethora of Thai dishes, and are happy to take requests for the menu.

A Traveling Spoon ambassador visited this host. Here is their personal review.
Jekky's cooking experience is one of a kind. You cook on a clay cookstove as opposed to an appliance, which is definitely a unique experience. Her home is located very close to the BTS but off the main road, so it does feel like a local, Thai home. Jekky is a lot of fun. It was super easy to connect with her and feel comfortable and relaxed while cooking her delicious favorites. Jekky's home is also a guesthouse, so at times there will be people popping in and out of her home. Her home is not air-conditioned, but she does have a few fans. Overall, it was a great cooking class and day, and by the end of the class we had so much food we didn't know what to do with it!
